How do I import XLMTV.XML data into the TV Guide

[garytn9988]

Yes, I did setup an account and setup a favorites channel list. I'm not sure what is meant by your statement "Then you need to associate the channels in the guide with the channels that it finds when it scans for channels".

I'm beinging to think I should try a different Free EPG. What do you think about trying a differnt EPG. I've seen something about TitanTV and a method on how to make it work with GBPVR but I can't seem to find locate it again.


Thanks

Go back to Zap2it and set up your account again. Something went wrong somewhere because you only have data for one channel, and it seems to be a channel that you don't want. Install the latest version of Zap2xml. Then try getting data again using the correct Zap2xml options. Do that outside of GBPVR (in a DOS window). Until you get Zap2xml getting the data you want, GBPVR is never going to produce the EPG you want. Don't even worry about GBPVR until you get your data retrieval problem squared away. You can open your data file in notepad to look at it if the file is not too big (mine is about 17M, and takes a while to come up, notepad does not respond until it loads). Once you are getting good data, check out this wiki page
http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manual/EPG
Go to the section "Set Up GBPVR for XMLTV Listings (Manual)" and follow the instructions. If you want to remap channel names to different numbers, see
the wiki page for channel remapping.
Other free grabbers include yapi2xml (search the GBPVR wiki) and mc2xml (search these forums). If you have MCE, you can use MceEpg2xmltv (search the GBPVR wiki). I would consider any/all of those preferable to using TitanTV. I have gotten all of them to work on my laptop. Yapi2xml is finicky about the zip file it gets from Yahoo. I could not get it to work with the lineup from one service provider at one zip code, it works fine for another provider at another zip code.
